Customer Reviews

Awesome sauce!! I absolutely LOVE retro arcades such as this one here, and I loved the other Beercade as well. This one doesn't disappoint and you can literally spend only $10 for all the games and come back during the same day you bought the wristband. Will definitely be coming back and was also a perfect way to beat the heat this weekend. ?????

Excellent place to spend a Friday or Saturday. Bartenders are quick. The bouncer Todd is the best. Lost a key there. They called me as soon as they found it. Def gonna be bringing more business to this establishment! ??

Wow!!! I love it so that people can bring their kids to play the games until 7 pm. I am not a beer drinker, but my partner loves an occasional beer. I was happy to get a hard cider, and he got a porter. We played some Iceball--where you roll real balls to make a score. We were there during Happy Hour and got 2 quarters for each drink to use to play their games. I didn't have any food, that is why I didn't rate it.

Love love love this place. The games are super fun - especially Killer Queen for a bigger group! Love everything but especially Dance Dance and the tabletop Pac-Man!Forgot the name of the bartender we had on my birthday (will update when we stop by again), but he is great and made our experience that much better! Love the photo booth and have definitely spent plenty of money taking pictures with friends ?? Definitely recommend this place to anyone that's in the neighborhood! Crowd just depends on when you g

Fun atmosphere! Visiting from out of town, I stopped by here after a nearby comedy show. It was a Thursday night, so I can't speak to the weekend volume, but there were only a few people present. There's a nice selection of games and the bar service seems solid with a great beer selection.

Zach is the absolute man. I can't say enough about this guy. He doesn't get paid enough and he's truly the reason I go to beercade (besides the pinball) This man and his team rock it out solo A lot and they please every person there is. I also love if you're in the middle of a game when they close, they don't kick you out, they allow you to finish it out. What place can you find that the workers Don't close early to get off on time. Genuine Beast of a man and establishment. If you haven't gone, you're

This place was good at the beginning, but the bartenders are just rude. The one with the Long beard was the rudest guys of all of them. This place sucks because of them went there to have a good time. Ended up with the opposite. Don't recommend going to this beercade at all. They need to change the bartenders, but I feel like the owner doesn't care. They are a lot of good reviews, but from a guy that went there since they opened I say they don't really know the place fully this last week was one of my worst

Love, love, love! The bartender was amazing and patient. The bar back was super fun. The games are everywhere!! So much to choose from. Prices are insanely good. Just...*muah* belissimo

My husband and I went here for our anniversary before dinner. It was our first time and we would definitely go again. Bar staff was friendly and helpful in suggesting beers. It wasn't too busy and we were able to always find a game open.

Edit: If you know, you know. Favorite game at the window. Either burning up in the summer or freezing in the winter. Getting splashed year round. They don't serve food, but its the best deal in town for craft beer and amusement, especially if you like classic arcade games and pinball. During happy hour, you even get a dollar back in quarters.

Interesting place that serves beers and cocktails during happy hour, offers a $1 off but gives it to you in quarters, which in turn is used to play in their arcade. Bartender had no personality and just took our change she had given about 4 minutes later and placed it in her 'tip' jar. Alright place to visit once. Nothing spectacular or inviting to make me return.

Had fun! Lots of cool pinball machines, good beer selection, places to put your beer while you're playing (very important), and nice and roomy (unlike some other barcades I've been to). At one point we lost a phone and the bar kindly held onto and returned it to us. The games seemed reasonably priced too.

What a neat place. Lots of games available. It was happy hour on Tuesday and they gave me a dollar in quarters to play with with the purchase of my beer, which they had a great selection to choose from. Definitely will be back!

Friendly staff, good selection of stuff. Loud on a friday night, but glad so many were having fun. Machines themselves are turned down fairly quiet. Good pinball selection. They all take quarters, not tokens, so thats nice.

Omg such a rad place! Came here for a beer and some video games! All the classics and some new ones too, walk out happy and got 599k on the Elvira ping pong table but got beat at street fighter from my hubby lol

They have plethora of beers on tap and video games to play. Although most of the games are arcade style and I could do it with a little more Entertainment one. The bar was always surrounded by waiting patrons however this is not due to low Staffing. And although they did put a splash of Coke in my white russian making it a Colorado Bulldog I said nothing because that would have been petty. Though now I'm saying on here soooo.... The ages ranged from the newly 21 to 50-ish while we were there. The staff wa

Super fun! Great beer selection and a lot of quarter video games!

Pretty awesome place with fun and friendly clientele and bartenders. Feel very welcome and like one big group of friends at this place....even on a Saturday night and no one knows anyone. Service was prompt and they have a pretty good selection of beer to choose from and a standard liquor selection. There were a lot of games to chose from, many I had never heard of or seen. But it was still fun and challenging to learn and try them out. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed and the tiled logo behind the bar

How can you not love this place? Skeeball, Arcade machines, pinball and craft beer. The bartender was awesome and they have a great craft beer selection. They have plenty of seating, big tables, cocktail tables, bars, outdoor patio, and a cool section that has booths that look like arcade cabinets. The games use quarters, and they have the old change machines you remember from the 80s arcades. They also host a pinball league and competitions. For happy hour they give you 4 quarters when you buy a beer. A fa

An awesome place. Tons of Games including the Classics. Pinballs. Craft Beers on tap. Will definitely go there again.

it is an excellent place. but it has the worst bartender in the world, the only bartender in the place with a long beard (you'll know him when you see him). he serves you drinks reluctantly, racist, classist, the worst as a person...he practically ran me out of the place

Amazing place to hang out and play arcade. Drinks come with free coins for the games. Omaha wouldn't be the same without you

Awesome old school arcade with super cheap .25 & .50 games consisting of old school 90s games / pinball, plus new games as well. Has a full bar with great service, and offers extra quarters back during happy hours. Would definitely recommend for a gamers night out!

Great spot! You do have to fight to find parking but the hassle is totally worth it! Great beer selection and the number of games you can play is unmatched! Definitely stop in here for a beer and old school games!

Amazing place! Great bartenders and the best pinball collection! All worked great and were clean!!

Very good beer selection, and fairly priced. Good selection of vintage video games and pinball. I like that there was no cover, and the games were not overpriced (most games I played were just one quarter, although some do cost more). Bartender was great.

Best bar tenders, games, and spot to play games and chill with your friends in all of Omaha. Hands down my favorite place to gather a group at for a fun night of frivolity. They've got serious pinball leagues and great people running the bar.

Super dope, great bartender for a Tuesday with a sick 90's alt playlist

Very cool ardcade with a terrific beer list. Great atmosphere. Apparently some dude stole my drink off the table and the bartender replaced it. Wouldn't let me pay for it. That's the kind of place I wanna hang around.

Very good selection of classic arcade games. 4x Pac man, 10 x killer queen, Street fighter, shooters, racers, etc. Staff is attentive and helpful; whole place is great.

We had a fantastic time here! The atmosphere and beers were great. Would highly recommend to anyone that likes beer and old school arcade games.

Great stop for the retro video games and pinball! I was too busy gaming to eat or drink unfortunately :)

I usually go here to play Pinball almost exclusively, but there are some like arcade video game type things as well and ski ball if you're into that

Old school acreage machines, ski ball, and fair price.

Lots of pinball machines to play and have fun they just don't have no food

Not a fan for the employees, sometimes rude and in my opinion will prefer to sell drinks to there kind instead of more cultured ppl. The slot machine on the side by the bathrooms is a rip off and you will win after putting 50$ in yeah right haha

Always a great time here! The selection of games is a bit smaller than the location in Little Bohemia but still a good variety nonetheless. The bartenders are friendly and good at what they do. I love the constant rotation of new beers and having something new to try every time I go back. My wife always asks for the them to surprise her with a drink based on her tastes and they have never disappointed.

This place is so cool. Definitely a must stop while in Omaha

Here with a group of family and coworkers for a birthday. The bartender is fantastic! It's packed and he's amazing! Great atmosphere and lots of games!

Dank beers, great tunes, and a really solid collection of pinball and classic arcade.

This is one of the best bars in Omaha even if you aren't there for the arcade games. In Little Bohemia, a short walk from the Old Market, the location is just far off the beaten path enough that parking isn't an issue, but close enough to incorporate into an Old Market outing. The games are fairly well maintained. Issues are usually quickly addressed. Many of the bartenders know how to do basic work on the machines and fix minor problems on the spot. Honestly, it's hard to find pinballs more well-maintaine

Great beer and game selection! This is the perfect place to unwind after a tough week at work. The atmosphere is very relaxed and there are plenty of games to play for a small crowd. There is also a lot of seating for hanging out. I will definitely return again.

Old and new arcade games with a good selection of draft beers.

Like the Benson Beercade, a few games didn't work and ate my money. That's always annoying. The ATMs that day weren't working so that was a bummer. The bathrooms were clean. Despite the flaws, I will definitely be going back.

I loved it here. Me and my friends decided to bar hop without looking places up and this is the place we walked into! We stayed for lots of drinks and games!! I loveeeee the car games. I will be back for sure!

The princess peach drink is top notch if you're looking for something fruity! Great prices and loved the 4 person pac-man. I just wish there were more of those because we had to wait a while! Great fun arcade games and booze; what more could you ask for!?

They have their own custom arcade machines more space than the original beercade and they have tons of games tons of space and they're just they're just awesome. Picture is Rasputin Ale

We stumbled upon this place, as Lumen was too crowded and it was such a pleasant surprise. The pinball machines and Mario cart games brought back such good memories. They have a good selection of alcoholic beer too (Busch N/A, Lagunitas IPNA, and hopwater). Was nice that there were good non alcoholic options and will definitely be back the next time we are in Omaha.

Played video games with my daughter. I won ??played Hydro Thunder for hours. Best time ever.

We always have a good time when visiting beercade 2. Fun games and good drinks

Such an awesome spot, came here a couple of months back and had honestly the time of my life. Arcade games are kept in great condition. Place is clean and they serve Busch light. Also no under 21's, so was the perfect environment for a date night ??

Cheap fun would definitely recommend.

Great tap selection. Lots of fun games. Bartenders are cool.

Beercade 2 is the best bar in Omaha, hands down. They have the cheapest micro-brews in the city, and the best selection. Whenever I'm in, I feel like I'm on the West Coast. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable about the games and the brews alike. I love meeting up with friends here as there's plenty of space to social distancing. I also love that there's more to do then just drink - come during happy hour and get quarters back to play pinball, Pac-Man, you name it. They also have a rea

I second what Pedro said in a previous review "it is an excellent place. but it has the worst bartender in the world, the only bartender in the place with a long beard (you'll know him when you see him). he serves you drinks reluctantly, racist, classist, the worst as a person...he practically ran me out of the place" This bartender is super rude and will stare you down, threatened to ban and bar me for touching a door. Yes, touching a door, I was not supposed to, I was a little drunk I will admit and he w

Always a fun time. Huge selection of beer on tap, vintage arcade games and pinball. There are some phenomenal venues and restaraunts nearby, as well. The staff is always awesome, too. I've been there many times, one time the bartender ordered a pizza and gave me a slice.

I'm so in love with this place. Beer selection to rival anything else we have downtown, wonderful service, and all taking place in a beautiful historic Omaha neighborhood. Oh, and VIDEO GAMES. PS- Get $1 worth of quarters back for every delicious beer during happy hour.

When I got there, it's a nice, open space with plenty of lightning, plenty of beer choices, and good video games that hallmarks back to my day when they first came out. These are the only good things I have to say about this place. Staff seemed friendly, but as the night went on, more people arrived, you could tell they were very rushed and getting frustrated. While it's true the space is bigger than the original place, it's just not big enough; they seriously underpinned how much space they need. When th

Best happy hour ever! Not sure what the drink specials are but they do give you four quarters to play games with after you order. There is a large selection of pinball machines, skee ball, and lots of classic arcade games as well. They also have a patio which is excellent for warmer months.

I really love this place. There is a vast selection of pinball games and arcade games. I would give five stars, as it is a well-maintained place and most of the bartenders are great, but there is one total a-hole that works there... so 1 star has been taken away. (Sorry to bother you by asking for a drink)

Oh Man!!!! We had so much fun. I have been wanting to go here since the first time my husband & I drove by it. Every video game imaginable! The bartender was super cool! The video games are cheap. We had a BLAST!!! I can't wait to go back!!??????????

There is a first time for everything. I'm happy to say this place is a blast. Fun for the whole family including vintage arcade games and pretty awesomr music!! Like the much loved Super Mario Brothers and a wide variety if pinball machines. A good time out lacking all the usual drama of a night club.

Fun! 25? arcade games and dozens of beer on tap.

Amazing bar staff, best selection of Pin Ball I have ever seen in one place. Classic arcade fighters that actually work well?!? Yes they have them. Not to mention like twenty+ on tap... Love this place. I drive out of my way when traveling the 80 just to stop here.

Really friendly, a great selection of beers, open floor plan, and great classic arcade games. You can see the current taps AND current games at their website. Don't miss out on happy hour!

It's one of the best places to go in omaha. Great atmosphere and good drinks at decent prices. I have been coming in more and more since moving here. Andy is a great bartender and will make you feel right at home.

Street parking and a shared lot for off street parking north of the bar. Great beer selection with TV screens listing what is available. Space itself is open with plenty of seating (favorite is the academy game booths). Nice selection of games.

We hosted a team event here today and the team at Beercade was amazing!! Super helpful and friendly to our entire team!! Highly recommend this location for team events or a night out.

Came in just for a little while I brought my 13yr old kid in there who was welcomed to stay till 7pm . We Played some old school arcade games I had a beer and he a pop. we'll be back again

This bar tender yelled at me saying ?this bar is dog friendly but the barking NEEDS to stop? if anyone owns a dog they know that puppies alert their owner when they need to go. Well mine barks twice when he needs to go so that's exactly what he did. He barked twice, I took him out and everything was fine until the bartender came up to me and said that comment to me. I don't appreciate the rude comment from him and the aggressive tone he approached me with. I used to love this bar but not anymore.

Love this place. They don't serve food, but you can bring your own in. Excellent beer selection. Beat my high score on Ms. Pac-Man, I dare you

Super cool vibe! Great beer selection. So glad they opened in the neighborhood. Cool place even for an evening business meeting or to work on your laptop with a beer! Would recommend for a date night or showing visitors to Omaha.

Most fun I have had in a long time. The bartenders are amazing and super friendly. The arcade games are very fun as well. Mainly pin ball machines but they still rock!

Fun place with classic arcade games, good adult soda pops

Awesome place! Good selection of craft beers if you're into it. Great selection of games to play. Anyone up for some NBA Jam or NFL Blitz.. let me know! Loser buys winner a drink!

Great place, their happy hr was cool, for each drink we got one dollar in quarters, the games are excellent and reasonable .25 to 1.00. My wife and I had so much fun here

Fun arcade and an amazing selection of the best classic pinball machines. Wide selection of beers on tap. If you open a tab you can get quarters and they'll just add it to the tab

Friendly staff and reasonable drink prices. Usually less packed and better vibe than the other location in town. Definitely worth a visit!

They replaced some of the pinball machines since my last visit. At least 3 of them were truly horrible and a waste of money.

I stopped in with my boyfriend for a drink and to check the spot out. We had fun playing the games. I won lol. The place was calm not to busy and very clean the only problem was tr he been drink selection they dont do pitchers of beer!

Great selection of games and a great atmosphere. Bring plenty of quarters and enjoy hours of classic games and pinball. Bartenders are nice too!

This new location is awesome! Great selection of games, staff has been stellar. Lots more space to move around so bringing groups isn't daunting. Great decor! Also crazy taxi is my jaaaaaam

Great place to spend a couple of hours drinking and/or playing. Only criticism is the lighting is sometimes too bright for a bar atmosphere. Everyone there is super nice and accommodating

Nice and big. Bartenders were friendly, happy to recommend things. Some of the cheapest games in the city, all in working condition.

Good beer, fun games! They have a happy hour special where you get a dollar in quarters with each beer. Unfortunately a baby was screaming for a good portion of my time there, which greatly detracted from the experience.

Convenience! Great location a new variety of games. Seating lounge area looks like videogame. The art is off the wall and the beer is ice cold. This location has big advantage with size. Nicely spread out.

Bartender was super knowledgeable both times I've came here:) it's hard to know what IPA's I can have due to an allergy and they have recommended amazing choices both times, definitely will become a weekly hangout spot for me.

Anthony offered a handful of suggestions and samples of the wide variety of tap beers. I came to Beercade to check out the pinball selection as I've been a longtime fan. He knew his stuff. Will be back!
